This is, naturally, pretty racist. It's also not really that funny, which is sort of a key for racial humor. And it also smacked of a certain hypocrisy, or at least oversight, in Busch Stadium, where some Cardinals fans were being forced to turn their "Cubs suck" shirts inside out. It made it seem as though Busch was less interested in policing racism than in halting borderline-naughty language.

Chicago's Biggest Cubs Fans

Of course, we made sure to include what was, to this point, the Cubs fan's latest, greatest racist t-shirt -- the Fukudome-related "Horry Kow" getup.

The point was that no matter what Cubs fans might say, they're just as bad as Cardinals fans; that there are bad apples in every fan base that ruin things for the reasonable ones.

Not only is this entirely uncreative and possibly a copyright violation (though we'd love to see the guy that has to go to court to protect this design as "intellectual property"), but it basically proves the point that everyone in the world is stupid.

We hate being the self-righteous political correctness police type, but in this case, there's really no other way to put it. The shirts are stupid and racist. Anyone who owns one or sells one for money fits the same description.

Of course, it's people's free speech rights to be dumb, and if you want to walk down the street proving you're stupid, fine. But it's not about Cubs fans vs. Cards fans here. It's just about stupidity. It is, apparently, the one thing that bonds all of us, no matter the allegiance.
